Ages ago, at least a month ago, James and I wandered into the city. In the harbour we saw Earthrace. I had no idea what it was all about, but James, being a Kiwi, was quite excited. In case you can't be bothered to click through, the short story is that Earthrace is a boat that circumnavigated the globe running entirely on bio diesel and with a carbon neutral footprint.
It was really cool to see the ship and be able to climb aboard. It looked very sleek and futuristic on the outside, but inside it looked like a bus from a rock tour. It was really interesting to see the two parts mixed together. Seeing the decals inspired by Maori carvings and paintings made us both a little homesick for New Zealand.
